"how come?"
Yuffie's face was stunned by Xiao Ran's inexplicable words, and she looked at Xiao Ran with some surprise: "This is not your problem, it is Butalia's approach to District 11 that is problematic. You are not the one in power and you can't change it. All of this, the general environment is such that no individual can change it. Even power should not be used as a force in conflict. Life caused by conflict will only become worse and not better. I think Mr. Xiao Ran There’s nothing wrong with you, you can’t think like that.”
"Do you think so?" Xiao Ran smiled and said: "But as you said, I am not a person in power and I can't change all this. The general environment is so unchangeable that I shouldn't think that I am hypocritical. But as for you, I found that your emotions were not quite right after you came here. It is obvious that none of this was caused by you, so why do you still let yourself be immersed in such sadness? If you have the intention to help them , then sooner or later there will be an opportunity to help them.”
"Mr. Xiao Ran..." Youfei was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly covered her mouth and smiled, glanced at Xiao Ran and said, "Mr. Xiao Ran, are you really trying to comfort me by saying these words?"
Xiao Ran spread his hands and smiled noncommittally: "Maybe."
Youfei looked at Xiao Ran, put down her hand and bent towards Xiao Ran solemnly: "Mr. Xiao Ran, thank you very much for your company today. You have allowed me to see many beautiful things, and many not-so-beautiful things. But I believe that sooner or later, all the bad things will be slowly changed."
"Of course it would be good if this can be done." Xiao Ran walked into Yuffie and shrugged his shoulders: "No matter whether the world will become better or not, at least before he becomes worse, I believe there should be more Many people have stood up to stop this, but it has nothing to do with a little girl like you. At your age, your current task should be to study hard and strive to make yourself more valuable, so that you can use what you want. to help those in need in a non-intrusive way.”
"Okay, it's already very late. I think your family will be worried if you don't go back. Come on, I'll take you back first."
"Yes." Yuffie nodded obediently this time. During the time she escaped today, she had completely seen everything she wanted to see, the prosperous city, the dilapidated ruins, and Buta with its superior life. The strong contrast between the people of Leia and the people of District 11 living on the verge of death gave her a great impact. After such a long time, Yuffie did feel that she was very tired, not only her body, but also The same is true spiritually.
After the two began to return, the atmosphere was no longer as relaxed as when they came here. Perhaps it was because they had seen too many uncomfortable scenes. Although there was a smile on Yuffie's face from time to time, compared to My mood was indeed quite low before.
Xiao Ran did not comfort Yuffie too much. In Xiao Ran's view, it would be a good thing if Yuffie could always remain as kind as she is now, but as a princess of the royal family, she should also have her own thoughts. and philosophy, everything she saw today is not necessarily a bad thing for Yuffie, it is also a necessary and necessary process for her growth.
As for whether he has thought about how to influence Yuffie, in Xiao Ran's opinion, at least now is not the right time. After all, the two have just known each other for less than a day. There is only a little bit of trust, but they want to To be able to influence the other party with such a little trust is really too whimsical. Besides, Yuffie is certainly kind, but as a princess of the royal family, how can she be really stupid
The two of them walked slowly towards the city. Along the way, they could see many people from District 11 hiding behind the ruins and looking at the two of them. There was fear, hatred, and some vicious people in their eyes. He looked at the two of them with evil eyes, but fortunately there was a grown man like Xiao Ran by Yuffie's side, and there was no danger along the way. However, if Yuffie dared to run to the ruins area alone, In an extremely chaotic place, there is really no chance that something bad will happen, but in fact the more critical reason is that there are other things following the two of them nearby.
Xiao Ran glanced at the special truck that had appeared in his eyes for the third time. Xiao Ran had seen this truck once in the city, and once again when he came to the ruins. This time, he saw it after they were about to return. The third time, the specially-made truck kept him and Yuffie hanging at a distance, without approaching or disturbing them, as if it just wanted to protect Yuffie from behind.
But Xiao Ran knew very well that apart from a kf trial machine called Lancelot, there were only two people sitting in such a big car, one who looked frail and wearing glasses and was smiling all the time. A man, a young woman with a serious face but often confused eyes, so if something happens, neither of these two people can protect Yuffie well.
But what makes Xiao Ran a little confused is another problem. In Xiao Ran's mind, these two guys must have come for Shumu Suzaku, and their purpose is to use Yuffie's rights to continue to be detained for unknown reasons. When the Suzaku is released, is it necessary to pull the Lancelot in the car and follow it at any time
From Xiao Ran's point of view, the two people in the car were probably busy, and dragging such a big car around with nothing to do was boring.
Xiao Ran's feet suddenly stopped, and he pulled Youfei, who had not reacted, and was about to continue walking forward. When Youfei turned to look at Xiao Ran in confusion, Xiao Ran's voice rang in Youfei's ear: "Wait a minute. Yuffie."
Yuffie nodded and glanced around inexplicably, but with her powers of observation, it was difficult to detect the large trucks following her around, and there were more people looking at her with bad looks.
Xiao Ran just took Yuffie's arm and walked towards the parked truck. He let go of Yuffie's hand and jumped up to the car window. He gently knocked on the window twice until the window opened, revealing After seeing a young male figure wearing glasses and a female figure wearing a military uniform, he said in a slightly cold voice: "Let me tell you, from the afternoon until now, you have been dragging for so long. It’s not appropriate for a big car to be driving around.”
"Oops." The young man showed a surprised expression when he heard Xiao Ran's words. He tilted his head slightly and said to Xiao Ran with a smile: "Did you find the wrong person?"
"Come down, if you don't want to arouse my hostility." Xiao Ran opened the car door directly and jumped to the ground. While blocking Yuffie behind him, he also said softly: "These two people and this car, from the time I met you It has been following us for a long time. At this time, it is already the third time I have seen this car. If it is not someone sent by your family to protect you, then it is probably coming for you, but I don’t think so. Someone should send this kind of car specially designed to carry kf to protect you."
Yuffie, who was blocked in the back, was confused at first, but after hearing what Xiao Ran said, she turned into surprise, but then she frowned slightly and looked at the glasses man and the others whom she also didn't recognize. Young woman appears from behind.
Looking at the man in a white coat and the woman in military uniform, Yuffie obediently hid behind Xiao Ran with only one head exposed and asked: "Who are you and why are you following us?"
Xiao Ran's words did not evade the two people who got off the car, so the man with glasses and the woman in military uniform could also hear what Xiao Ran said. The excuse that she was planning to blurt out could no longer be said at this time. The girl was completely panicked, and her hands I don't know how to put it behind my back, and my eyes will only look at the man with glasses.
"Oh, you discovered it. I thought no one would find it." The man with glasses squinted his eyes and scratched his hair helplessly. He looked a little lazy but was not embarrassed at all by being caught. After laughing, the man with glasses caressed his chest and bent down in the direction of Xiao Ran. To be more precise, he bent down towards Yuffie behind Xiao Ran.
"I have met Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, and Lloyd Asplind would like to say hello to you."
"Princess?" Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yuffie behind him: "Princess? Are you talking about you?"
Yuffie blinked at Xiao Ran with her big eyes, raised her right index finger on the joint test, and replied with a confused look, "You should be talking about me, right?"
"Um..." Xiao Ran was speechless at Yuffie's cute and confused look, but soon Yuffie covered her mouth and smiled and nodded at Xiao Ran: "Yes, you should be talking about me."
"Britalia...the royal surname?" Xiao Ran said in a somewhat surprised tone: "Yuffie? Are you a princess?"
Yuffie stuck out her tongue at Xiao Ran, then looked at the man with glasses, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Why are you following us."
There was no panic on the face of the man who called himself Lloyd. He bent down and replied calmly: "I suddenly saw Her Royal Highness on the road, but found that Her Royal Highness did not bring any entourage. I was worried that it would disturb Her Royal Highness's nature. So I made my own decision to follow Her Royal Highness for protection."
"To protect me?" Yuffie nodded in confusion, seeming to believe what Lloyd said, and the young woman in military uniform also nodded quickly: "Yes, Your Royal Highness."
"Oh, so that's it, then I forgive you." Yuffie looked at the two of them, nodded in confusion and said, "But this will never happen again next time, but how did you know that I Is it the princess’s?”
Xiao Ran didn't know what to say about Yuffie's innocence. If there was a problem with the identities of these two people, then they could just tie up Yuffie. Isn't this too naive
"Perhaps there is a way to identify someone that I don't know about?"
Xiao Ran shook his head and looked at the man with glasses and the woman in uniform, but they didn't seem to relax their guard because of Yuffie's approval. Xiao Ran naturally knew the identities of the two, but he had to keep his disbelief. At the same time, this This time he came over and knocked on the glass of the other party's vehicle, just to come over and contact the man with glasses.
Xiao Ran decided to join the empire and use the empire to help him create a suitable machine. Among all the people in District 11, only the guy who developed Lancelot has this ability. , is also the person Xiao Ran must conquer in the next step.
At this moment, a roar suddenly sounded in the ears of the four people. When several people turned their heads and looked in the direction of the roar, they could just see the rising black smoke and flames in an abandoned sports ground. Xiao Ran He once again pulled Yuffie behind him, separating himself from Lloyd and Yuffie.
Yuffie didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao Ran's actions, but the other two people who were separated looked at Xiao Ran in surprise, and then Yuffie's voice rang out: "Is that an explosion?"
"Yes, it looks like it was an explosion caused by the battle between kfs." Lloyd raised his waist and looked in the direction of the explosion, and said: "It seems to be civil strife between pure-blood factions in the military. There is already It’s not safe anymore. Princess, please hurry up and come with us.”
"Civil strife among the pure-blood factions? Why?" Yuffie couldn't believe it and couldn't understand what Lloyd said. She directly asked her doubts and said: "How can this kind of thing be allowed to continue to develop? We are all soldiers of the empire, why are we fighting among ourselves? I want to stop them."
Yuffie's words made Lloyd, who had always been smiling, be stunned for a moment. He looked at Yuffie with somewhat incomprehensible eyes and said with a confused face: "But Your Highness, this is very dangerous, and we have not been able to stop it." Their method, if you are in danger, I have no way to explain it to the empire."
Yuffie ignored Lloyd and said firmly: "I am here to solve the problem. As long as I use my identity as the princess to order them to stop, that's all. So Lord Lloyd, I order you to take me there immediately." .”
"Wait a minute." Xiao Ran stretched out his hand to stop Yuffie, faced Yuffie in silence for a moment, and asked: "Yuffie, are you really Her Royal Highness?"
Yuffie looked at Xiao Ran and lowered her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiao Ran, Euphilia Li Britalia is my name, and she is also the third princess of the empire. I'm sorry that I deceived you before. .”
"No, if I say it directly with such an identity, it would feel like a lie." Xiao Ran shook his head, suddenly smiled and said, "Have you forgotten?"
Yuffie looked up again in confusion: "What?"
Xiao Ran smiled slightly: "I said today that I am your guardian and your knight, and I am very powerful. Since you were brought to this place by me, I have the obligation to ensure your safety. As a Princess, you should do what you want to do to prevent your subordinates from fighting among themselves, but I will not let you fall into a dangerous situation, so leave the matter to me."
After saying that, Xiao Ran turned to look at Lloyd and said in a deep voice: "I believe you are from the empire. This car should be riding on a kf based on the load. Give me that machine body. It's up to me to stop the fighting over there, and I don't think you will hand over the machine to me until Her Royal Highness orders you to do so."
